Giorgetti
Giorgetti has been making furniture in Meda, north of Milan, since 1898, in the same town, without interruption, for four generations of Italian design. The house is known for architect-designed collections in solid wood, made and manufactured in Italy and customizable for the room. BeDESIGN is Houston’s exclusive Giorgetti dealer, and the Giorgetti space at our Upper Kirby showroom is open from October 8. Discover the collection below, or book a consultation.
Giorgetti at BeDESIGN
The Giorgetti space at 2016 W Alabama St is arranged as two rooms: a living area, and a bedroom area with a lounge. It brings together pieces from the house’s history and its newest work. The Progetti armchair, introduced in 1987 and still in the collection, is here, and so is the Hug armchair, designed by Rossella Pugliatti in 2013 and built from twenty separate pieces of solid Canaletto walnut. Alongside them are recent designs, including the Floria table by Pierre-Yves Rochon.
Pieces from the Giorgetti Maserati Edition Collection are set through the space: the Lorelei sofa and armchair, the Seidon sofa, and the Ligea and Sibilia low tables. Giorgetti and Maserati developed the collection together, introduced it at Milan Design Week in 2025, and expanded it with new pieces in 2026.
About Giorgetti
Luigi Giorgetti opened a woodworking shop in Meda in 1898 with about eight craftsmen. Meda sits in Brianza, the stretch of country north of Milan that has supplied Italy with furniture since the nineteenth century. The historian Cesare Cantù described its people in 1857 as expert carpenters who sent their work to Milan to be sold. Cassina arrived in the same town thirty years after Giorgetti did.
Production has never left Meda, and Giorgetti’s creative and productive processes are exclusively Italian, which is why its pieces carry the words “Made and manufactured in Italy.” Giorgetti has exhibited at the Salone del Mobile every year since the fair’s first edition in 1961, and in 2022 was one of twelve companies the Salone honored for sixty years of unbroken participation. Giovanni del Vecchio has been chief executive since 2015, and Giancarlo Bosio has led creative direction as art director since 2013.
The designers
Giorgetti’s turning point came at the end of the 1980s, when the house began inviting architects and designers, many of whom had never designed furniture, to design it. The names the company puts first are Carlo Colombo, Massimo Scolari, HBA, Pierre-Yves Rochon, Draga & Aurel, and Dante Benini. The catalog also carries Léon Krier, Chi Wing Lo, Roberto Lazzeroni, Rossella Pugliatti, Ludovica and Roberto Palomba, and Umberto Asnago, who joined the company in 1968 and ran its in-house research center.
The collection that defines the house is Progetti, introduced in 1987: armchairs and sofas whose sculpted armrest in pau ferro, a dense Brazilian hardwood, was inspired by an antique walking stick. It is still in production, nearly forty years on, in a dozen variants.
What makes Giorgetti different
Giorgetti is made the way it was in 1898, in Meda, in solid wood. The Hug armchair’s curve is twenty separate pieces of solid Canaletto walnut. The Move rocking chair is thirty pieces of hand-finished ash. The carving technique developed for the Gazebo collection in the 1970s is still run on tooling from that era.
The result reads as warm and architectural at once: pau ferro, Canaletto walnut, maple, ash, and ebony, combined with upholstery, leather, and stone. Every Giorgetti product is made to order in Italy and can be personalized through an extensive selection of finishes, materials and colors, with dimensional customization available for selected pieces. Battaglia, the company’s specialist division, extends this expertise to fully bespoke furnishings and tailor-made interiors. Darker finishes look different in daylight than under lamps, so it helps to judge the finish in the room’s own light.
